The Glaucous Gull at The Patch this morning

 With a howling westerly wind blowing the sea passage this morning was virtually non existent, just a few each of Red-throated Diver, Gannet, Kittiwake and Guillemot offshore meant I spent the best part of 3 hours in the The Patch hide looking at Gulls again. The bright sunlight made viewing anything directly in front the hide difficult. There 1,000s of Gulls present including the regular juvenile Glaucous Gull, a couple of Mediterranean Gulls and managed to read at least 20 colour ringed Gulls.
At the fishing boats this afternoon there was no sign of the 1w Iceland Gull.
Late afternoon on the reserve no sign of the Smew on Tanners Pool but Great white Egret there, on Burrowes the Glaucous Gull came into roost and a Grey Plover was in front the visitor Centre of note.
I probably wont be doing another post for just over a week as I'm off to to the Western Sahara hopefully to see Golden Nightjar.
